Goodbye board, this is my last post here. Viewing this site has become like watching a train wreck and is eating too much of my time.
I was going to post my views of the meeting with Prater, but I just don't care anymore. If you want to see what he thinks go to a meeting.
Here are my last thoughts on the meeting and our situation.
ALPA will not overturn the list, but it will not be sent to the company unless there is no other option. Prater said it follows
ALPA guidelines, so they can't just throw it out, BUT, he also said there are many lists out there that were never put into place and this may be one to join them.
For the west pilots: You have won the battle, but you may be losing the war. Standing your ground and not giving an inch may keep the award intact, but will cost you much more than offering some compromises. If you think 767jetz or any OAL pilots are here to help you you are mistaken. They are only looking out for their interests. 767jtz is so bitter over the UA/US merger is just glad to see the east pilots screwed. If we ever merge with UA you will see for yourselves.
For the east pilots: It's time for some real soul searching. The line in the sand, DOH or bust mentality has been a complete failure with this merger and past negotiations. I do not believe the lawsuit will work and the new union is an unknown. I'm leaning towards USAPA, but have some big questions that I need answers to. I would like to see the two MECs talk to each other and see what is possible before we go down that road.
For US Airways: If anyone from management is reading this, DO SOMETHING! This airline is an operational mess. Our customers deserve much better than we are providing. The employees are completely demoralized and disenfranchised. If the economy hits the skids soon we are in deep #$%&!
Just like at our airline there are some really good people on here. But also like our airlines there are some total Aholes. The infighting needs to stop. Over the last 20+ years I have seen the damage it does.
Good luck to us all.
